Metlakatla stops Hoonah in "B" bracket opener 92-89

The Metlakatla “B” team withstood a tight back-and-forth contest with Hoonah “B” during Sunday’s opening Gold Medal game for both teams.

Hoonah’s Travis Dybdahl scored a game-high 36 points but his last second three-pointer to tie the game fell short and Metlakatla advanced to tonight’s 7:30 p.m. winner’s bracket game against the winner of Sunday’s late game between Yakutat and Hydaburg. That outcome saw Hydaburg stop Yakutat 93-81.
